This research explores the efficiency of rice milling machines in small-scale enterprises (UMKM) through the modification of a cooling system. Conducted in a local milling unit in Bengkulu, Indonesia, the study compares machine performance before and after cooling installation. Parameters such as milling capacity, energy consumption, grain breakage, and whiteness degree were analyzed. Findings revealed that cooling modification improved efficiency by 18%, reduced grain breakage by 12%, and enhanced rice quality. The study emphasizes the role of simple engineering innovations in strengthening UMKM competitiveness in rice processing.
